We gave him three shots, and turned to another bearing down upon us, Two shots were received from this one before we replied, and, like the other, he immediately steamed away without replying to our guns. We steer straight through the fleet, going about twelve knots an hour. One more comes up, and is within 500 yards before he is discovered. A shot that passes over us is the first in timation we have of him. He fires two shots, both of which go wide of the mark,and then turns away as our guns open fire in return. Not a shot came in reply, and no desire is shown to come into closer quarters. We fire at one mare, who gives us a shot, and fires into his confrere, and in a few moments get safe through the whole and close under the guns of the fort. In every instance the Yankees seemed perfectly astonished, and gave us a wide berth. Only one replied to our fire, and he was firing at random and fur astern of us. At half-past 10 we came to anchor inside the bar, safe at home after our short but exciting cruise. As soon as the anchor was dropped, all hands were called to muster, and Capt. Wood read prayers, thanking God for ' having protected us through scenes of peril, and for deliver ing us from the hands of our enemies, bringing us safe into our destined porc. Thirty-five vessels in all were captured by the Tallahassee, some of them large and fine ships and barques ; the others coasting vessels and fisherman, Had plenty of coal been allowed us, as many more might have been destroyed on our return trip ; but there was only coal enough to take us in, and had we been chased off the coast it must have given out directly, Fortunately, however, we were chased but a few hours - , and then were not turned from our course. The Richmond Despatch publishes the diary given of the officers of the Confederate cruiser Tallahassee. It was Sun day, Aug. 7, when Capt. Wood started from Wilmington ; and the historian of the Tallahassee tells us that it was "a calm, quiet Sabbath day, and Captain Wood read service on the quarter deck to all hands." It seems to have been an occasion, too, for special thanksgiving, for though half a dozen steamers gave chase during the day he escaped. On Wednesday the Tallahassee, by mistake, gave chase to a United States frigate, only eiscovering that the anticipated prize was a man of war when the pursuer and pursued were a longside of each other. On the following morning the Tat lahassee was within 20 miles of Long Island. The same day was signalised by the capture of the pilot boat, No. 22, of New York, which was at once turned into a tender to the Tallahassee, and served for two days in that capacity, fairly dividing the honours with the larger craft of bringing vessels to. The emigrant ship Adriatic was soon fallen in with : " All being clear, we moved ahead a short distance, and Lieut. Gardner was sent on board after the captain and his papers. In a few moments he came over the side with a very confident air, feeling sure that he, being an English man, would be allowed to go on with his ship. This was the Adriatic, from London to New York, with 163 passen gers. There was great consternation among these people when told that the ship was to be destroyed, and they were ordered private baggage to go on board a barque to gather ethe,22 p w u was then their bringing in. I shall never forget the scene, and yet it was a trifle compared to what I saw when the enemy took possession of the of Fredericks burg. Women and children wept, screamed, and prayed, while men cursed, laughed, and got drunk, Two or three elderly females went into hysterics, while others were run ning here and there, with clasped hands, asking us to spare them. It was some time before they could comprehend that we did not intend burning them with the ship ; but when they did all went quietly at work packing their things. They were allowed to take everything they desired, and frequently a whole boat was taken up by two or three per sons with their luggage. It was a bustling scene when they came to go over the ship's side. The women were lifted into the boats as carefully as possible, and the disagreeable business conducted as well, and better than could be ex pected. Three or four men were so drunk they had to be slung over the side, Capt Moore among the number. It was with great difficulty he was got out at all, as he preferred going to sleep in his bunk to the exertion of changing ships. It took nearly two hours to clear her, and then she was burned with her valuable cargo on board. The baggage these people carried was of the strangest description —broken pots and pans, jars, crockery, cracked vases, bird cages, cats, dogs, and other pets, brought with them from the Old World. These they all insisted upon taking, but in many instances had to be refused. Women, after having become y enough, but became to take an old straw reconciled o u t o s l e w a h v i e n n g , n w o e t n t p e c r h m e i e t I t e f u d 1 1 bed or a basket of dishes worth less than 5 dols. It was a sad sight to witness the trouble of these poor crea tures, who in many instances had their all on board. Per haps one half the number were able-bodied young men, who will be found, in a month's time, in the army of Virginia, The barque Suliote, which was bonded, took the passengers and our other prisoners on board. We gave them some casks of water, and sent word to the captain if he wanted more, two casks would be thrown overboard for him to pick up. To this he made no reply, so we presumed he had enough to last him in." Hero is an incident, entered under the date, Aug, 13 : " It was scarcely daylight before two sail were reported, and in a few moments both were alongside. One was an English vessel, which, of course, we could not touch— the other, the barque Glenavou, of Thomaston, Maine, from Glasgow to New York, with a cargo of pig iron. This was a fine new barque, with splendid spars and double topsail yard. The captain had his wife on board,—a brave good woman, and a female servant. There were two passengers in the cabin, an old sea captain and his wife, the latter a perfect termagant, and very offensive to all on board. Her tongue was never idle, and her time about equally divided between abusing her husband, who bore it like a lamb, and distributing testatnents and tracts among our men, The art of making everybody disagreeable was carried to perfection with this horrible woman, and the scoldings she gave the poor captain, who was tied to her apron strings, struck everyone dumb with astonishment. The last act of revenge on the poor man was just as she was leaving the side, when the old lady, in a fi'; of anger, tore off her new bonnet and threw it into the sea. We got a quan tity of mess stores from the Glenavou, a few luxuries, some hams, a coop of chickens, and two pigs. After removing all things of immediate service Lieut. Wald had her scuttled, and she sank rapidly. Before we were out of sight she wont down by the head, and sank for ever beneath the ocean. It seemed a pity to destroy such noble craft., an I I Loked upon our work with sorrow. I spoke of Mrs Watts, the captain's wife. She was, indeed, a brave, sweet woman, and bore her loss without a murmur, and, at the same time, the taunts of the other I( m ile. Only once did she give way to her feelings, and then when speaking of their loss in con nection with her children. " Poor fellow,' said she, looking fondly towards her husband, " he has been going to sea for 30 years, and all his earnings were in this ship. We were saving for our dear little children at home, five of them," and then her eyes filled with tears, and a single drop trickled down her still fair cheeks. She said that since the beginning of the war she had read with sorrow of the sufferings of the nob e Virginia ladies, and only wished her loss might do them some good. This and similar sympathising expressions, the Zantippe threat ened to report to the police the moment they arrived in New York. A Russian barque passed, and we bar gained with him to take the passengers into port, The barque had three or four hundred German emigrants on board, the males, undoubtedly, destined for the Yankee army."

The following passage is also worth quoting : " Schooner Sea Flower overhauled and let loose on con dition our prisoners should be taken into some port, ;there being at this time a large number on board. Among them was a genuine Yankee girl, some seventeen or eighteen years of age, who was cook upon her father's vessel. She was a good-looking, black-eyed girl, who, after her first fright was over, was not unwilling to give her smiles to a few rather handsome ' pirates,' who seemed disposed to converse with her. One of these gave up his room to her while on board, and this she insisted on putting to rights before leaving, saying she had ' allers been accus tomed to work at home.' The males were much fright ened when first taken, but when assured they would be well treated and soon returned, began to develops their Yankee traits—speaking in a very loud tone of voice, and with a nasal twang, cursing, using slang words, and very peculiar idioms, they caused us no little amusement. They spoke of their wives as' the old woman,' and the man who said he 'would rather lose his wife than his schooner' was not the only one who showed singularity, in his conjugal relations. That boat was all I had in the world,' said one, s and I've put five years' hard work in it. Now its all gone.' Yes; I replied, ' and your people have destroyed not only what we have gained in our lives, but our ancestors for over 100 years.' They acknowledged the truth, but could not see w hy they should be made to suffer for what others had done. Singular enough we have not yet found a single man who would acknowledge himself a Yankee.

By and by the coal began to get low, and it was determined to run to Halifax for supplies. Several captures were made by the way. At Halifax, however, Sir James Hope would per mit no repairs to be made in the craft, nor allow a sufficient quantity of coal to betaen on board. The Admiral, acting by instructions from rd Lyons (who is described as the crea ture of Mr Seward), even sent several armed boats' crew alongside to see that his orders were obeyed, The Tallahassee therefore left that inhospitable port and made for the South. The diary closes as follows : "Thursday, 25th —The noise of the screw working rapidly roused me soon after daybreak, and, by the velocity of our motion, saw there was a chase, Upon reach ing the deck, saw a long, low, side -wheel steamer chasing us. It was a slow craft, with two masts, swinging gaff, and high paddle boxes. We ran away from him with ease, and in an hour had passed nearly around him and got on our original course. About 7 o'clock he let;off steam and stopped, some accident, probably, occurring to his machinery. He repaired quickly, and came on after us, but in a few mo ments stopped entirely, and seemed permanently disabled. At this time anothe r steamer discovered us a n d g ave chase, ,aurdin gaining rapidly upon us.

A little later than that hour they were distinguished, and we went slowly along until the mound vertical lights were made out. Took soundings within sight of a Yankee blockader, but were unseen our selves until we ran down across his bows, .then going at full speed, and headed in. In half an hour we had him abeam, and received the first shot. Another followed, and then we replied with the half pivot gun.

Upon the last day intervening before the disrup tion of the circle at Fredensborg—on the one hand by the departure of the English infant Prince for Lubeck, and on the other by the return to his own country of the Russian Grand Duke—there is natu rally a desire for privacy at the Castle. Before 10 o'clock this morning all the party set off for Nakke boved lighthouse, a point immediately opposite to the Coin mountains here in Sweden, carryingiwith them camp kettles and other culinary apparatus for the purpose of enjoying a dejeuner in the open air in thoroughly English picnic fashion. The light• house in question is detached upon a promontory about 14 miles from the starting point, and origi nally was one of the most desolate regions in the Danish dominions. A pensioner, however, con verted it by his own labour into a perfect little Pa• radise, and grew so attached to the place that at his death he requested his son, who succeeded him in the midst of the flower beds, a request which was religiously complied with. In the absence of the Royal family, who cannot return much before the dinner hour, the occasion is a favourable one for re. visiting the country which bestowed so cordial a welcome on the Prince and Princess of Wales, and for gathering a little information as to the actual circumstances of a nation lying so much out of the route of ordinary travel. Royal alliances present and in prospect will, no doubt, tend tp make these regions fashionable, and the rapid development of railway communication will in a short time remove most of the obstacles heretofore existing in the way of a free intercourse with England- In the mean. time all the guide books must be rewritten, and there will still be a vast amount of useful learning not contained in any of them which the traveller may acquire for himself. The histories of Sweden are eloquent and even diffuse as to the victories of her great Kings and Generals in bygone cen turies, upon the reverses of Charles XII. and on the causes which led to the accession of Bernadotte. But at this point they commonly stop short ; and beyond a general indication that the national interests of the country have largely pros pered under the present dynasty, there is not much information to be gained as to the actual state of Sweden. Tho language in which the national "Blue books" and newspapers are published is a formidable impediment to the mastery of their con tents, and so time passes, the Swedes eagerly and curiously studying foreign literature and politics, keeping pace, as far as their means enable them. with every onward movement of society, the other nations of Europe meanwhile thinking of them — when they do think of them at all—with a he.zy recollection of the soldiery inured to hardships and the humblest fare who startled Europe by the lustre of their deeds, and were not destroyed on the field of Pultowa till they had half achieved the conquest of Russia, For the perpetuation of this frame of mind it must be admitted in England, at least, that something is due to the tasks set by the Civil Service Examiners. One of the first things by which a stranger enter ing Sweden and mixing largely with the population will be struck is the success with which the ruling family, originally alien, has managed to incorporate itself with Swedish interests, and to surround its throne with Swedish affections. The descendants of the son of the Frenchman who fought his way to the highest honours that Napoleon had to bestow are as completely Swedes as if their root of title dated from 1180, and not from 1810. This is the more remarkable, because originally Bernadotte was accepted to some extent as a necessity. When the throne fell vacant by the sudden death of the Prince Royal, what the nation most urgently des sired was a general who, while insuring indepen dence and tranquillity at home, would do something towards reviving the fame of Swedish arms in Europe. They chose the fittest man they could discover, with this sole object in view, regardless of his birth or parentage, and but that the opportunity came a few years too late there is little doubts that theirs would have proved a wise selection. Disape pointed by the termination of the war of the means of doing more than helping to drive Napoleon across tha Rhine in the campaigns of 1813 and the follow ing year, there are many countries which would not, like Sweden, have reconciled themselves to the rule of Bernadotte. Spain, for instance, has always possessed its deep appreciation of English military assistance; on ly, somehow or other its gratitude has never assumed a practical shape. There is a tradition, however, that Bernadotte had ingratiated himself with his future subjects before he was called on to lead their armies, and when, in facet, he WAS their declared foe. The tradition is worth repeating for the enlightenment of generals in these days, when, in the outraged name of " nationality," wars are becoming more than commonly atrocious. The tyranny of Napoleon had driven the Swedes into the ranks of his enemies, and it so happened that Bernadotte, still one of Napoleon's marshals, captured nearly a division of Swedish troops, whom he treated with unexpected lenity. These were so well aware that they owed their good fortune entirely to his kind disposition that a good feeling towards him sprung up on the part of their country men, which is said not only to have influenced his selection, but to have contributed in later years to the stability of his throne. By a judicious mixture of firmness and concilliation the dynasty has since established its position, and the present King decidedly approximates to that type of a model sovereign which northern nations are dis posed to entertain. With her extensive frontier to defend, perpetually confronted by the greatest military power in the world, and never able to forget that Finland and Pomerania were torn from her as recently as the commencement of the present century, Sweden naturally attaches importance to military qualities in a monarch. CherlesXV.,happily for them end for himself, is both by nature and pros fession a soldier, and, regard being had to th e limited opportunities open to him, enjoys the repu tation of being among the most skilful generals of the day. Ile is an inimitable horseman, and further, a clever artist, the Palace at Stockholm containing several illustrations on a large scale of scenery among the Norwegian Alps executed by the King's own hand. In all that relates to antiquity, moreover, be has undoubted information and excellent taste— points of no secondary importance in a kingdom that justly sets such store by its own famous traditions.

Thwaites, Esq., took the chair at 12 o'clock. armies of the State may be described as the right hand of Sweden, it would be no misnomer to describe Prince Oscar, heir presumptive to the Crown, as its headpiece. Not sharing, possibly, to the same extent those external qualities which win for his brother the favour of the multitude, in all the solid parts of a wise governor, in all the accomplishments and charm of manner that grace the true gentleman, Prince Oscar sets an example to those by whom he is surrounded. He is more than Vice-Admiral of the fleet of S meden and Norway, for he is the Dib din of the service as well. At the early age of ten years he made his first voyage on board a man-of war, and continued every year at sea till he was 17, when he passed for his lieutenancy, afterwards pro• ceeding to the University of Upsala, where he won a fellowship. His literary fame was gained in the first instance by a poem, " To the Memory of Heroes and Heroic Deeds of the Swedish Navy,' and a gold medal awarded to the author, at that time unknown, was carried off in a competition open to the whole na tion. The Swedish Academy, which gives out prize subjects every year, and sits in judgment on the essays that are sent in, was instituted by Gustavus 111., and consists of 18 members, always among the men most renowned for their writings upon poetry, eloquence, and belles lettres generally. Any Swede may become a competitor for the prizes which they offer, and if unsuccessful his work is returned with out his name transpiring. Poems sent in volun. tarily must not have any name affixed to them, but simply mottoes or devices. In announcing the find ing of the council one of these mottoes is mentioned, and the author then makes himself known by coming forward and giving up the second or coun ter motto. Oa the 20th of December in each year the grand annual meeting of the Academy takes place, and prizes are distributed in presen3e of the Royal family, the dignitaries of the State, and a crowded audiences Great, naturally, was the excite ment and surprise, when in 1857 Prince Oscar 'stepped forward to claim the highest honours which the Academy had to offer. Since then, without neglecting any of his official duties, Prince Oscar has found time, besides minor poems, to publish in 1859 his full translation of Herder's " Cid," and in 1861 a translation of Goethe's " Tam.' Both these works were honourably mentioned by the Academy. The Swedish Court is not only fortunate in its central figures but likewise in the functionaries obeying its behests. These are, for the most part, courtiers in the truest and beet sense—that is to say, men who in their devotion to the Throne re member that their duty is only half fulfilled when they have carried out the wishes of their Sovereign, and that it is at least as imperative upon them to place those actions in a proper light in the eyes of the governed. They are of a very different stamp from the dancing dolls, excellent at proces sions, and at nothing else, who figured at Courts in ancient times, and from the stately formalists filling the pages of history, who were rigid in the perform ance of their own duties, but shrank from every atom of responsibility. In a word, they were not merely men of the Court, but men of the world, anxious for the stability of the Throne they repre sent, and ever on the look-oat for means of pro moting its popularity. It must not be supposed from what has been already said that Sweden is in any sense one of those military monarchies which, from being regarded as bulwarks of Europe, have suddenly caused them selves to be looked on as its scourges. Her military force, though maintained in a condition of high effi ciency, rests on a purely defensive basis ; the con stitution of the army, in fact, is of a peculiar cha• racter, well deserving of record. There are a few enlisted regiments, principally corps delite, but the " Indelta armee,' as it is called, furnishes the great bulk of the military strength of Sweden. " Indeln ing " means dividing, and the r,.ourso pursued by Charles XIV. was to parcel out the Crown and waste lands in such a manner as to make them support a standing army without otherwise draining the re sources of the country. He commerced by giving, ou perpetual lease, farces to the nobility nod com mons on condition that they should for ever keep men and horses fully equipped always ready for service, and later the system was extended so far that all other property, freeholds only excepted, must keep foot soldiers. The system worked admirably, and with modifications suited to the altered character of the times, continues in force to this day. The number of regiments maintained in a province varies according to its population and fertility ; Scania, for instance, supplies four ; Dalecarlia, a poor district, only one regiment. In every village may be seen a small tidy cottage with its garden and ground, where the soldier of the village lives, often taking his name from the village or farm, while near the centre of the district, or a fine estate, the colonel of the regiment resides, and on it every colonel has resided since the time of Charles XI. Captains, in a similar manner, live in the midst of their companies, and the intense esprit de corps springing from this arrangement, by which every officer and soldier fights under the eye of his neigh bours and friends, as well as his comrades, is some thing that will only bear comparison with the feel ing animating the Highland clans of the last century. The subalterns get their pay in money from farms let upon lease, and as the value of landed property has increased, so has the pay of the officers. When there is a vacancy for a private a great many young sons of farmers offer themselves as candidates, and in the rich provinces a colonel has often as many as 20 applicants to choose his recruit from. Each re• giment musters yearly for a month, like our own militia, but afterwards several of them encamp and practise manoeuvres on a more extended scale, dis missing their members to their homes at the ap proach of the harvest season. Some of the greatest public works in Sweden, among them the Gotha Canal, have been undertaken and carried out by the Indelta, the members of which are thus enabled in time of peace to acquire considerable additions to their pay. As regards her navy Sweden is for the moment a little backward, having watched the results of ex periments in other countries before determining the course she would herself adopt. This will consist in the construction of a number of monitors. Face to face as she is with a Power which either has already or speedily will possess not less than 20 iron clads in the Baltic, which may be very moderate in its views at present,but which notoriously covets the great Norwegian nursery of seamen, it is a neces sity of Sweden's existence that with her long coast line, that may be struck at any point from Hapre randa to Yastad, she should have a naval force capable of holding its own till the arrival of assist ance from other Powers who may be indisposed to ratify a fresh treaty of partition. Oddly enough, though all parties in the country.admit the necessity of a strong naval force, this adoption of the Monitor system has been a species of compromise between conflicting views on the question of naval armament. It sounds like going back to the days of bows and arrows, but there really is a party by no means un influential in Sweden which retains its faith unim paired in the efficiency of the old gunboats propelled by oars. In the last great European wars these played a very important part—the Danish patriotic songs make constant reference to them, and there can be no doubt that in their day they formed a valuable safeguard to the Swedish coast. This is so studded with islands that the term archipelago might fairly be employed in speaking of them. From behind or between some of these clusters cf islands it was usual for the gunboats to appear suddenly, having calculated upon finding an enemy's maneof-war becalmed or contending with areadverse wind ; and not unfrequently these midges stung to death a great vessel, or compelledaral htherattotusetrsikweehdeers colours in despair.

A report from the Streets Committee wes brought up on the proposed removal of Middle-row, Holborn. It stated that the cost would be £46,625, and to purchase the opposite side of Holborn for the purpose of making an improved frontage, would amount to £16,309 additional, making a total of £62,934. After a conversation, in which the details were much discussed, the further discussion of the mat te,. was adjourned for a fortnight. PURCHASE OF EPPING FOREST. A report was brought up from the Streets Corn' mittee embodying a letter from the president on the letters received from the Hon. F. Peel, relative to the enclosure of Epping Forest to be used as a place of recreation. The PRESIDENT stated that he had had a cons ference with the Hon, H. Howard, commissioner of Royal Forests, and Mr. Gardiner, solicitor of Royal Forests, upon the subject, and that it appeared the Crown rights over 3,513 acres had been already dis* posed of for the sum of £15,795 16s. 6d., and that nearly a similar quantity remained for disposal, but that property of this description was not easily pro 4 teoted, and was moreover very,e7ApeLisive A s o watts"'"‘ over. He recommended that nothing should be done. in the matter at present; as from what took place in the House of Commons upon the subject last session, there was a greet probability that a select committee would be appointed to take it into consideration early in the next session. THE GRANITE FOR THE THAMES EMBANKMENT. The Chief Engineer read a long correspondence between himself, Mr Ritson, Mr Scott, and Mr Brady, in which Mr Ritson denied that he had made any contract with Mr Scott, and also denied he had ever said that the Board of Works had ap proved of Mr Scott's granite. There was also a letter from Professor Tennant, stating that he had e: , .amined four samples of granite, as well as one of two samples marked by Mr Scott, and found, from its component parts, that it was not likely to be so durable as the four samples he had before referred to. Mr BAZALGETTE, the chief engineer, said that he had requested Mr Professor Tennant to visit Livers pool, to ascertain is hether, as suggested, the defec tive stone used there in the construction of the docks was of the same character, as that would, of course, alter his opinion. The professor could not go, but Mr Lovett went and saw the principal ofll4 cers, who gave him every opportunity of examining the Kirkconnel and Dalbeattie stone. His report was,favourable to the stone in use. After an animated discussion upon the subject, in which considerable personal feeling seemed to ani mate the parties concerned, the whole matter was referred to the Thames Embankment Committee for consideration and a report. After disposing of the routine business, the Board adjourned. PROMENADE CONCERTS.

When the advisability of providing new fields of industry for the employment of women was so ably advocated by disinterested philanthropists in the year 1860, Miss Mary Anne Thomson was induced, from the evident sympathy created in the public mind in the cause of the extension of woman's labour, to open an extensive printing establishment in the city of Edinburgh, under the title of" The Caledonian Press," where young women were to be trained as composi tors. The institution has been in existence nearly four years, and during that period many young women have been made proficient in the trade. For two years and a half a monthly magazine, under the title of " The Rose, The Shamrock, and The Thistle," entirely printed by Miss Thomson's female employes, has regularly issued from the press, and has consequently reached its 30th number. Supplying the requisite plant and machinery, and the carrying on of the above magazine has necessarily involved a great expendi ture, the whole of which has fallen upon Miss Thomson;; and having now exhausted her private means, she is reluc tantly compelled to earnestly appeal to the benevolent for immediate assistance, otherwise she will be necessitated to abandon her undertaking, and her incessant toil and labour for the last four years will have gone for nought. Under these circumstances a few kind friends of Miss Thomson's have determined to come forward to her aid, persuaded that after her large outlay, and the sacrifice of the whole of her capital, that it only requires additional means to render the institution a permanent one.

ISTA.NCHESTR, Oct. 14.—1 n shipping yarns the attempts at business have been somewhat more successful to-day, but the orders given out are again at lower prices. This is mainly owing to the depression which prevails in the cotton market at Liverpool, where spinners are able, day by day, to cover their orders at lower prices. In home made yarns there has been very little more business, though there is less desire to sell manifested than there was on Tuesday last. The cloth market has been characterised by much the same features as on Tuesday. There has been very little disposition shown to purchase, and buyers generally appear to refrain from operating, or only offer very low prices. The tendency of prices is still downwards, and the actual amount of business transacted to-day has been small, Stocks, of course, have been a good deal relieved by the purehascs which low prices have tempted merchants to make during the last few weeks, and owing to the greatly lessened pro duction which is g o ing forward ; but there appears very little probability of manufacturers being able to take orders at the rates now off.2t ing, and it is likely they will prefer the alternative of closing their mills. We may accordingly an ticipate presently a very great lim t in the production. NOTTINGHAM, Mt.—There was a moderate attendance at this Exchange-hall to-day. The demand for lace yarns was not over brisk, but previous rates were well maintained. In hosiery yarns there was not much doing, and late prices may be written. For silks prices were steady. The demand for brown nets was very dull, and there is no immediate improvement. The Great Polish Trial at Berlin. On the 4th witnesses were callei in the case of M. Ma tecki, a landowner, and M. Majeweki, his steward, accused of having assisted volunteers proceeding to Slawoszewo on the 14th April last with recruits. It appears from the evi dence that waggons were seen on the estate on the day in. question, but there was some doubt as to their contents and the identity of the persons who accompanied them. The Polish and German experts were then examined re specting the documents ascribed to M. Niegolewski. The Germans, who do not understand Polish, held to their opinion. that the signature was genuine, while the Poles were equally firm in supporting the opposite view. Herr Elven then submitted that the accused should be liberated. The only fact proved against him was that he had risked his blood and life in hastening to assist his country men in the insurrection against Russia. The only evidence brought by the prosecution of this insurrection being con. nected with criminal acts or intentions against Prussia was that of two bakers' boys, who had not yet been called as witnesses. On the other hand, 400 or 500 witnesses had given evidence of a totally opposite character. After a brief discussion, the Court rejected Herr Elyen's motion. Messrs. Ulatoweki and Tur, accused of having acted as commissioners for the insurgents, were then examined, but nothing material was elicited from them. The Court then decided that Messrs. Matecki, Majewskr, and Tur were to be detained in prison until the case against them was complete. On the sth evidence was taken in the Skrzydlewski case, from which it appeared that a body of insurgents were sur prised by the Prussians in the Mechlin woods, and that the accused was seen by a soldier in the vicinity. A witness named Kozlowski was also heard against M. Zablocki. His evidence, however, only showed that he had suspected the accused of assisting the insurgents; and it appeared, moreover, that he had been discharged from M. Hozlsveski's service for drunkenness. Herr Lewald pointed out that M. S. Zakrzewski's libe ration had been delayed since the 20th ult. in consequenoo of the non-appearance of the bakers' boys, Meer and Zim bermann, who were the principal witnesses for the prosecu.- ion. As the prosecution had not been very active in search ing for these witnesses, he begged the Court to summon. them publicly, and offtr rewards for their discovery. The Crown Prosecutor said he attached no importance to the evidence of these witnesses, as he had other proofs-- but that Court wished to hear them. After a warm discussion between the German and the Polish experts regarding the authenticity of certain Polish documents put in by the prosecution, the Court decided against M. Lewald's motion, and temporarily liberated Messrs Kossielski and Kierski. On the 6th Herr Styrle, councillor of the district tribunal of Srcm, deposed with reference to the charge against Me S. Szczaniecki, that ho had enlisted 150 volunteers for the i nsur rection, that in February, 1863 , he (Szczaniecki) had not only dissuaded four young men from joining the in surrection, but that finding one of them was Herr Styrle's son, he took him back to his father. Herr Styrlo added that he had never heard of , any hostile intentions towards Prussia among the Poles, and that the accused Ms Smitkowski was a most respectable and peaceful citizen. M. Grabowski, accused of acting as military commis sioner, of enlisting &e., was next examined. H e denied all the charges against him, and Lis statements wero confirmed by several witnesses. The Court then ordered him to be liberated. Count Constantine Buinski was then called. He denied that certain letters produced by the prosecution had been. written or signed by him. He had sold horses to Count Dzialynski, but not for the insurrection. Two smiths were next examined in the case of M. Tur. They deposed that the accused an d his brother had em ployed them in casting bullets, and that ou one occasion M. Tur said," If a Russian swallowed a pill like this, he would have enough of it." M. Janecki then complained o f th e t rea t ment exper i en ced by the prisoners. Ito said that the discipline to which they were subjected only differed from that of the criminal pri son in this particular—that the latter wear grey coats, while the former are allowed to wear their own clothes. The President said that these matters related to the ad ministration of the prison. The Court then liberated M. Tar, but rejected a proposal for the liberation of M. Bradowski ; after which it ad. journed to the Bth inst.,
